      Yes I would consider it spam.

      At very least have something else to talk about and when and if I ask what you do then fill me in. Yet at the same time do not use some bullshit conversation.

            could be...

            is the person already a affiliate? If yes, are you their rep or are they assinged to someone else?

              Any attempt to cheat, especially with my wife, who is a dirty, dirty, tramp, and I will probably just snap.

                if I were doing business with you already I wouldn't mind... if I weren't you can be certain I'd probably never sign up to your program...

                    Doing it repeatedly after you know it's unwanted by the recipient would be "spam" IMO.

                      just don't start the convo with "Hey wanna promote www.shootahotloadupmyass.com ??" Some of us do use ICQ at our day jobs.

                      I got something like that the other day, my boss was using my system. He was like wtf, I was like fuckin spam.

                          if you don't want to be contacted about business, then don't put your icq there....on this board, it is an unwritten rule that putting your icq in your sig means you want to be contacted about business...some may not like it, but that is the way it works

                            it depends on how you bring it. My business card says contact me if you have a business opppertunity, a suggestion or a question and is showing my icq (an cell) underneath it so that mean yes its ok. Just don't bullshit around.

                              For the same reason they have their name and number in the phone book but don't want telemarketers to call

                              I think that usually people put their icq #'s in their sig for people to contact them about what THEY are doing. Not to hear what you are doing.

                                business is like "hey, you want to trade with my site?" or "hey, you selling any domains?" and thats fine

                                but "hey buddy, we just launched another-shitty-paysite.com why dont you sign up and send some traffic?" is kinda different
                                I don't use ICQ anymore.

                                  I am sure that you are correct. I still don't consider it spam to contact someone about what I am doing.

                                  my Number is unlisted.

                                    Most people who put their icq in their sig are promoting their own programs and sites. I think that sending them unwanted sales pitches for your program might be considered spam.

                                      If we have had no previous engagements or if you and I knew each other through a different company, then anytime you message me or email me with your garb, I will never sign up to your program. This is exactly why I have not signed up to MayorsMoney. The email I recieved from them was from PornCity, and if it does not pertain to porncity, why are you coming to me with it?

                                      SPAM!

                                      And don't try to pull the disclaimer card about us or any sister companies when at the time I gave you my email addy the company being spam never existed. Considering there was even a disclaimer in the first place.

                                          I totally agree if they didnt have ICQ there that woul;d mean they didnt want to be contacted. If its regarding a ?? or somtning in their sig then would be OK.

                                                exactly... there's probably at least 5-10 new sites going live everyday, the last thing I want is an icq notification of each and every one of them. If someone I'm sending sales to every day contacts me I wouldn't mind it though.

                                                  At very least have something else to talk about and when and if I ask what you do then fill me in. Yet at the same time do not use some bullshit conversation.
                                                  I already spammed you a few times, 15 times today alone.

                                                    You put your contact info in your sig if you want to be contacted. Doesn't that sound logical?

                                                        It'd be kinda the same as collecting webmaster emails... it's related spam

                                                              while I don';t consider it spam, I do get annoyed when someone just hits me up with an advert out of the blue...at least make conversation...also, I'm often busy and if you are hitting me up for the first time, don't be offended if I take a little longer to get back to you, especially if I'm assisting an affiliate or someone else....want to move up my priority list? Don't hit me up with the same sales message everytime I sign on to ICQ. Talk to me, tell me what you want, but don't just keep hounding me. I try to extend this courtesy to everyone I contact as well.
